Apologies for making a second post with some hopefully not obvious questions!

More of needing a clarification on the first.

If using a real bulldog, or on the original prop they intended to fire blanks, so my guess is the hammer stays intact, but is bobbed? If that's the case does anyone have a photo of the aftermath of doing it, just for curiosity sake?

Also the shell ejector rod, It appears it is trimmed down under the side cover but I cannot tell...what needs to be done with this on the real gun?

Thanks for reading, im doing my best as a noobie here to read as much as I can and soak it all in, and search as best I can before asking.

In the meantime I figured out the hammer thing...I had a photo showing what I needed without realizing it...if I can ever get off work ill play around with it and post up pics in case anyone else ever has the same question.

Yes, you are correct. Hammer is "bobbed" and the ejector rod was filed down to be shorter in order to clear the casing. Filed down a little crudely, so a modification that was probably done while the gun was being put together.
